'Dance' Star Brings Payne to 'Fame'

She didn't win on FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance," but Kherington Payne is ready for a brush with big screen "Fame."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Payne is one of nine actors who have signed on for MGM's remake of the 1980 musical classic "Fame."

Written by Aline Brosh McKenna and Allison Burnett, "Fame" will cover ground similar to the Alan Parker directed original. Expect dancing, singing and tears as a year plays out at New York's High School for the Performing Arts.
